Students can test on a practical level their concepts and ideas about how the European politics should be formulated. They find out that in order to realize their ideas successfully, they have to persuade others by means which stem from real politics, i e. negotia tions, lobbying, discussions, etc. Over the course of the game they actually learn such techniques. More- over, they immediately see the results of their actions. This effectively replaces commonly unappealing theoretical lectures about how the European Union
works." (Social sciences teacher, Gymnazium Omska, Omska High School) "During my previous lectures about the European Union the students were never so engaged and motivated to study this topic." (Geography teacher, Gymnazium Sazavska, Sazavska High School) "I appreciate that players study and comprehend complicated issues and familiarize themselves with the terminology. I also like that discussion is a key part of the game and that socially aware students can win." (Teacher, Gymnazium Jana Palacha, Jan Palach High School)
